The Day I Was Born

The universe was on fire.

And the reason for this burning

was a family at war with itself.

They called it the Titanomachy.

The war between the old Gods

and the brand new.

Brother against brother,

sisters torn apart,

fathers fighting their children.

And what place does an infant

have among such bloodshed,

such divine terror?

They say on Earth that ichor ,

the Gods’ golden blood,

rained from the sky.

They say that forests

turned from emerald green

to gilded with God-blood.

No one knows

how to stop a war

when you are immortal.

Which is why the universe burned

and as far as the eye can see

there were only embers. And ash.
